It was a beautiful and hot Indiana summer day, perfect with a pop of pink bridesmaid’s dresses, and we were thrilled about the sun shining through the church’s west wall of stained glass.  It made for a beautiful backdrop, fitting for such a sparkling couple. Ashley and Sylas are so fun-loving, so warm…and their family, friends and guests exude the same feelings!  Now that’s the kind of wedding we love.

Ashley, Sylas and families – thank you having us along for the celebration!!

And hats off to the vendors!

I’m not sure that we’ve made this quite clear enough here on the blog, but Jen and I love Terre Haute.  Both of our families are originally from there, it’s where we met, and both of us have some really special memories there.  Plus, it’s a nice break being able to get from one side of town to the other in 10 min.  Something else that Terre Haute has is Christen and Chris.  You may remember them from a Engagement shoot that we did at Oliver Winery.  We were really excited to be able to document their Wedding.  It took place at a couple of our favorite spots – St Joe’s and St. Mary of the Woods.  Everything was so beautiful!  Have a look…

The ladies had taken over the boardroom in the SpringHill Suites Marriott hotel.

Chris’ gift!

The man himself!

Christen looked amazing!!!

My goodness, that’s a cute group of ladies!!!

Clearing out the last little bit of nerves before she headed down the aisle.

I love having Jennifer to shoot with every wedding!  Look at this, that girl’s amazing!!!

Haha!  Sneaky Jen caught this right after they came out of the sanctuary.  You have to watch her!

Quick stop to refill the cooler!

The slideshow was a great touch!

Really!?!  A “Grind-Line?”  I haven’t seen one of these since early high school!

We had to give a quick shout-out to Carl and Beth Anne.  We actually met Christen and Chris while shooting their Wedding.  Their Reception is in the top 5 of all time greatest parties!!!

Beth Anne and Carl were clients of weddings past, Christen and Chris are our clients of weddings present and Sarah and Tom (shown below) are our clients of weddings future.  They’re getting married in ‘10 at The White Chapel!  We can’t wait!!!

Christen and Chris – Thank you two so much for allowing us to take part in your beautiful Wedding.  We truly enjoyed ourselves.  There’s much more to come in the way of photos, and we look forward to having you see them.  For now, enjoy these, and have fun on your honeymoon!!!

Thanks for reading, have a wonderful day!
